Anita, so sorry to read this so late. Just seeing this obituary that your Dwight passed away - over six years ago now. I am sure, as was for me, so hard when this happens and overwhelming to lose someone as loved in your life as a spouse. I hope you and your family are now all doing well. My condolences. Sending love and prayers! ❤

Dwight was my last supervisor at Boeing before retirement. He and Gil Duncan were awsome and ushered me out with respect.

I am so saddened hearing of Dwight's passing. What a difficult time for his family, especially his mother.
I got to know Dwight when we were both in CIE together in the late 90's and early 200's. I enjoyed his company so much. It was always a pleasure to be with him.
My heartfelt condolences to his family on this all-too-soon loss.

Dwight and I met years ago during our career at Boeing. I was in ME and he was in IE. Our training plan was very similar. He was a great person to run ideas across. The last time I met Dwight was at SCCA where my wife was being treated for breast cancer. She passed away on 6/24/18. I really miss Dwight. My prayers go out to the family and friends.

I met Dwight in January of 1979 where we worked for the Mad Red Head, Charlie Moore. Dwight both enjoyed riding the bus from Lynnwood most every day that year until I was transferred to Plant II. Our path again cross when he became my Sr. Manger on the 777 startup airplane program. He always had a kind word for me but what I really enjoyed is the time we would poke fun at one another. He had a wonderful dry wit.
